Yup, it brought a smile to me as well, MsP.

I might sit in the Gallery to the Debating Chamber on the day 'Chippie' announces the repeal of this Bill/Act. Just to watch Seymour's face.

If it's even a small roll-back of neo-liberalism, I'll be a happy chappie.

Just think, if he keeps on going on the way he has been, Seymour might not even be there! He seems positively deranged at the moment.

He definitely seems not to to coping very well with criticism. I have a suspicion he's more thin-skinned than what we've been thinking...

I’d give anything not to hear the whining mozzie Davey constantly polluting my ears. But stocking up on leftie quinine and eco warrior pest spray!

Ironically, Lesley, if Labour and Green voters all gave their Electorate Vote to National's Paul Goldsmith, Seymour would lose his seat... Of course, that would mean a lot of nose-holding and dead-rat swallowing.

But oh, the joy of that silly little man losing his electorate seat!!🤩

Let’s hope this is just the start of what a Labour led govt will repeal in the first 100 days. The precedent has been set.

Labour’s promise is a good ‘plan B’, much nicer is NZFirst pulling Seymour’s plug* at the second reading - *not a pretty image!

Andrea Vance's piece in 'The Post' is a damning analysis of the Bill.

If this is what Winston Peters wants to pass into law,then he is nailing his clours to the corporate mast. He might as well amalgamate NZF with Act.

A whole heap of people are starting to wake up to the clear and present danger that this odious Bill represents.

No wonder that it's architect, Mr Seymour, is so thin-skinned and easily provoked by trenchant criticism of it.

More from 'Mountain Tui' on his blogsite.

The more we read about this horrendous Bill, the more we realise how dangerous it is!
